One family's journal of life's little adventures

HAPPY HALF BIRTHDAY!

Today was your half-birthday! I want to do my usual month check in, but we had a very busy few days. Your friend Nash hung out and we played and played. Here’s a portion of what our Monday and Tuesday looked like:

(You guys look pretty serious…)

What I didn’t capture is how you and Nash would just LAUGH with each other. Or when Nash found the laundry shoot, with a bowl of “Goldfish” in hand and I watched as the wheels turned in his head and he thought “What would happen if…” I stopped him just in time. (Why do I see that happening in your future?).

So tomorrow, kiddo, it’s just you and me again. We will be relaxing and eventually I will catch up with some six month pictures and a look back at the past month’s changes.

From living in a church in Tijuana, to college campuses in Chile. From urban at-risk youth in Minneapolis, to Alzheimer's patients in a nursing home. From walking alongside women with eating disorders to staying at home with my kids.
My life has been one continuous adventure in loving and discovering more of God and humanity. An adventure full of mishaps and mistakes.
In this season, my main teachers and co-adventures are my husband and two children. And this is where I write. Welcome.
